Application filed May 24, 1919. Serial No. 299,620.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JULIUS CHEIN, a citizen of the United States, andresident of Montclair, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey,have invented a certain new and useful Toy, of which the following is aspecification. 7

My invention relates to improvements in toys and the object of myinvention is to provide a simple, useful and convenient toy.

I accomplish this object by the device illustrated in the accompanyingdrawings, in which, 7

Figure 1 is a view of the device assembled,

Fig. 2 is a view of the same with parts broken away,

Fig. 3 is a vertical section,

Fig. 4 is a view of the blank from which the receiver hook is formed,

Fig. 5 is a view of the receiver hook, and v Fig. 6 is a View of thehammer.

Similar characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

In the drawings, 1 is a wall plate on which I preferably attach arepresentation of a transmitter 2. On the wall plate 1 I provide a boxcomprising two sides 3 and. 4:, a top 5 and a front 6. A bell 7 issuitably mounted on the outer face of the front 6.

In the box I provide a hammer 8 which is provided with a'hook section 9projecting through the front 6 of the box and adapted to strike thebell'7. The front edge section of the hammer 8 is adapted to normallylie against the inner face of the front 6 of the box. On the rear of thehammer 8 I provide a bearing lug 11 which is seated in a slot 12 in therear wall plate 1 and I prefer to press out a raised section 13 aroundthe slot 12 to permit the bearing 11 to move freely. On the upper partofthe lug 11 I provide a notch 14 to serve as a bearing when the hammeris raised and below the lug 11 I provide a shoulder 15. The hammer 8 isadapted to normally rest in the box with its striking end or hook 9below and adjacent the bell 9 and is raised and caused to strike thebell 7 by means of a lever or receiver hook 16 which is fulcrumed in aslot in the side wall 3 of the box and has an end section 17 seated in aslot 18 in the hammer 8.

On the upper edge of the lever 16 I provide a lug 19 which serves, inconjunction with other parts to position the lever 16 and to limit itsplay, and on the under'edge of the lever 16 I provide a tooth 20 and acut out notch 21. I provide a bifurcated spring 22 in the end section ofthe lever 16 by spreading the ends, to carry a'telephone receiver. Thelug 19 and the wall 23 of the notch 21 are so positioned that when theend section 17 of the lever 16 is raised, the hook 9 of the hammer 8,which normally lies I closely adjacent to, but out of actual contactwith the bell 7, will be caused to strike and sound the bell 7 and willthen be restored by gravity to its normal position. The parts being thusassembled the depression of the outer end 22 of the lever 16 will raiseits inner end section 17 thereby causing the book 9 of the hammer 8 tostrike against and sound the bell 7. l V

I prefer to form the lever 16 of a sheet of metal as shown in Fig. 41having a narrow end section 17 with straight sides and two legs 22 atits opposite end, with a shoulder 23 at one side and a tooth 20 at theother side with an intermediate cut-out section 19 which is rolled orfolded over on the line engage the hammer, a notch in the under edge ofthe lever and a lug on the upper edge of the lever to limit the movementthereof- 2. In a toy, the combination of a box, a bell thereon, a hammerhaving a striking end normally positioned adjacent the bell and having abearing lug seated in the rear wall of the box, a lever fulcrumed in theside of the box and adapted to engage the hammer, a notch in the underside of the lever and a lug on the upper edge of the lever to limit themovement thereof.

3. In a toy, the combination of a box, a bell thereon, a hammer and alever adapted to engage the hammer, said lever being formed of sheetmetal rolledever and having a notch on the under side of'thelevento itsend sections spread to form a bifurcated form a bearing and arlug on theupper side 10 spring to earry a receiver. f the lever to limit,itsmovement- 5 bell thereon, a hammer, and a lever adapted Y. a'nd Stateof N.
